Tonight We Rock Torrance At "The Bank", December 13-14, 1968 newspaper article.

11-12 October 1968 Charlie Musselwhite and Shakey Jake and His Allstars Artwork by Robert A. Wilson

The Blue Law/Bank posters are in order by date of concert.

While I was driving down the Harbor Freeway I noticed that the elevator manufacturing company had moved out of "The Bank" building. A new alarm system was being installed, the side door was open... so, I walked in like I owned the place. The side walls and back wall are still brick but the front of the building has offices built. I've been waiting for this opportunity to see the inside. If only those walls could talk.

This just popped up on ebay. Not sure if it's authentic and I've never heard of any small poster cards made (just handbills). That said, it's one of the more popular posters.

... and don't forget to Boogie!

Halloween Party at The Bank!

Thank you David Rice for sharing this great example of an original Bank poster! Pink Floyd, Original Black Pearl
